Can Linux users be part of PC master race?

[Member of PC master race]

Can people using Unix like systems (Linux, BSD, etc) be part of PC master race?

[Master Disaster]

I can see the warning point hammer off in the distance

The reason I made this thread is I was actually curious, if people who use Unix like systems could join the PC Master Race subreddit

True, the pine phone and Librem 5 run full Linux

Just feeding the troll

It's like having a quad bike in a car race basically. "It has four wheels so can i enter?" 

That being said, windows phone is also windows so lumia's are in pc master race too?

Why don't you ask them? Since their are plenty of games on Linux, the answer is YES.

Not exactly the same but very close except from the UI

True, phones are basically pocket pc's at this moment

Yeah, i dare to say the kernel is the same, UI changes according to manufactor

With Linux Phones, it depends on the distro

Yeah but the UI looks different in some aspects

well UI in linux means little to nothing because like windows its not a constant anyway they can run arm linux apps

Why does it matter?

[Sandro Linux]

Yes because Linux and BSD are desktop OSes too

Because I do not know if people who use Linux should be in PC Master Race Subreddit

Ok jokes aside, this is my opinion about your question, i'm no expert on the matter so i might be wrong in some aspects.

The majority of games don't work in pure linux unless you do some magic to make it work, so my opinion is it is not. To be in the pc master race the devs would need to also publish games for unix distros also, that sometimes they forget/dont care due to "lack of users"

 

I see linux as more of a working side than gaming side. I remember using Ubuntu for molecular simulations because the os it was less resource intensive than windows so more performance of the renders.

Linux is more broadly used in servers and programing where you have to you the raw power of your hardware that often windows don't offer. 

Also the free open source is a huge plus for those who need to be constantly changing stuff either in the hardware or correct something to make the program or hardware better/faster

 

Again im not an expert in the topic so i might be wrong

Firstly, the PCMR is a meme and who is and isn't part of it does not matter.

 

Secondly, PC stands for Personal Computer: nothing to do with operating systems.

 

Thirdly, Linux gaming in 2020 is good enough for plenty of Linux gamers, myself included. Lutris works great, and Steam's Proton does too. ProtonDB will solve most of your issues with the latter if you have them.

 

Lastly, and most importantly, the PCMR is a meme and who is and isn't part of it does not matter.

I think it is quite good for Gaming and as you said it does not require that many resources
